How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Stick Hill
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. For boxing Day and New Year gatherings and club and society Christmas socials, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
In winter near Stick Hill, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
About the food
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send round an allergy question
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Keep the queue dry
Afterwards, we pack up.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van brings the meal to the team. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
